Divine Emperor of Death Chapter 947 The Culprit Who Brought The Aqua Flood Dragon

Grand Alstreim City, at the estate belonging to Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim.

Many people were gathered outside, staring at the estate with constrained emotions. The people in the yard, mostly the servants, stood outside and bowed to the white-robed women who all seemed to have finished with the treatment process, exiting the estate with indifferent expressions on their faces.

Some people surrounded them, asking for insider information, but they all refused to reveal anything and left.

Inside the estate, in a certain room.

A woman rested on the bed. She seemed to finally regain consciousness, but she still had her eyes closed as it fluttered. She felt like she held the rough hand of a man who sat by her side. Opening her eyes, she looked around and saw that there were three more people who were looking at her with worried eyes and expression.

She weakly smiled at them before she uttered.

"I’m fine..."

"You are not!" A middle-aged man echoed as he looked at the woman with a bit of red, like bloodshot eyes.

This person was none other than Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim, and the woman he yelled at was none other than his daughter, Grand Elder Elise Alstreim, who brought the Aqua Flood Dragon to the Alstreim Family!

Looking at his daughter’s appearance, Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim’s expression became desolate as sorrow grew in his heart.

Her blonde hair held a few strands of white, and her beauty had receded a bit, making her look a bit aged. Clearly, the loss of blood essence that she used to escape from the Aqua Flood Dragon had greatly affected her vitality!

"You... Why did you go offend the Aqua Flood Dragon...?

Grand Elder Elise Alstreim weakly smiled, "I had to..."

"You! You never learn!!!" Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim didn’t know what to say that he clenched his fists tightly and scolded.

But he stopped and painfully said, "I can’t afford to lose you too!"

"Grandfather, it is enough..." A man who held the hand of Grand Elder Elise Alstreim said, "Let mother rest... We can scold her at a later date."

Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim looked at Patriarch Eldric Alstreim before his shoulders dropped, "Alright..."

"Nothing bad is going to happen to Grandma, right?" Weiss Alstreim, who also stood by the side, suddenly asked.

"Judging by mother’s condition, she sacrificed about twenty-five percent of her blood essence in a single go, and for her age, it should’ve affected her badly. Although it would not cause her to die, she would become unable to use her cultivation much in this time period. If she used her cultivation base, it would become a strain to her health." Patriarch Eldric Alstreim explained.

He was also learned in the ways of the apothecaries, but that was it. The true apothecaries were the ones who saw to his mother and explained her condition to him before they left.

"That’s right. There would be fatigue, weakness, and exhaustion throughout the week." Nora Alstreim, who stood beside Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim, added, "At least, it was like that for me after I battled with Logan, but I easily recovered seventy percent of the blood essence I lost with the help of resources and due to my youthfulness and low cultivation base. However, for Grandma, who possesses a higher cultivation base and higher age, it should be difficult..."

Everyone other than Grand Elder Elise Alstreim nodded their heads in acceptance.

Grand Elder Elise Alstreim was around 6,000 years old. She had lived about half the lifespan of a Peak-Level Law Sea Stage Expert. Law Sea Stage Experts possess a known maximum lifespan of 12,000 years. However, Grand Elder Elise Alstreim only cultivated her body to the Peak-Level Martial Ascendance Stage.

Peak-Level Martial Ascendance Stage Cultivators only have a lifespan of 5,000 years, and cultivators at this stage would not age older until they cross 5,000 years of age, staying youthful till they arrive at the point of death around 5,000 years old. However, Grand Elder Elise Alstreim crossed this limit and started to age a bit since she still had her Law Sea Stage Cultivation supporting her lifespan.

Hence, from the point where she reached 5,000 years old, she was starting to lose her vitality slowly, almost dead slow since it would take another 2,000 years more to look like an old lady. But now that she lost twenty-five percent of her blood essence in a single day, her vitality had been rapidly drained, and she became a bit old, possessing a bit of wrinkle on her face.

Perhaps, it could be because of the temporary weakness that would go away as time passed and can be remedied if the problem persisted, but in any case, since there was no danger to Grand Elder Elise Alstreim’s life, they were not extremely nervous or afraid that she would suddenly lose her life.

They have already concluded that the chances of that happening were nil.

However, Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim clenched his fists, straightened his back, and possessed eyes full of determination.

"I’m going to ask the Conferred Queen for some Million Emerald Vines Calamity’s nectar!"

Everyone looked at him in astonishment.

Ask the Conferred Queen...? They were got off-guard by the statement that only a single person with an immense will to save Grand Elder Elise Alstreim was able to react.

Patriarch Eldric Alstreim raised his brows in question, "Grandfather thinks that such a treasure would be easily given like that?"

"Of course not!"

"Then-"

"Then, I will beg!"

Patriarch Eldric Alstreim became wide-eyed!

"Grandpa!" Nora Alstreim widened her eyes as she possessed a reluctant expression.

"What does my old and battered pride amount to? I have already thrown it away for you all, engaging in countless schemes. Compared to my daughter’s life, how can my face compare!?"

"But... Grandfather..." Patriarch Eldric Alstreim wanted to state otherwise, but he quickly got shot down.

"It is the only way my daughter would enter the Martial Master Stage, gaining vitality anew!"

"With her current condition, it would take many unknown years for her to enter the Martial Master Stage by herself! However, if we possess even a bit of the Million Emerald Vines Calamity’s nectar, it would be easy for Elise to breakthrough!"

"This way, she would also start to regain her lost vitality and would naturally be back to complete health in a hundred years even without having to consume any resources!" Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim flicked his sleeves.

His taut posture and stubborn expression stated that there was no room for changing his mind.

"Then, I will too!" Patriarch Eldric Alstreim stated in a stubborn manner, although his pride seeming to have taken a huge hit in a way that he seemed to momentarily imagine and shudder at the thought of seeing himself kowtow to another woman other than his mother.

"Do as you wish!"

"Don’t..." Grand Elder Elise Alstreim weakly uttered and struggled to get up suddenly, but just before she was about to sit up and explain, the door on the far end of the room was pushed open, and a person entered.

"Insolent! Who dares to enter without my permission?" Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim fiercely reacted as he swiveled his head, only to look that it was none other than the person he least wanted to see at this time.

His pupils dilated into two tiny pins as he blurted out, "A-Ancestor!"

The others also became alarmed as they flinched and stared at their Ancestor in nervousness, their body becoming tense in panic!
